2012 NHL Playoffs: Unpatriotic Report And Final Thoughts

I read this week that Bell and Rogers are gunning for the "Hockey Night In Canada" rights, which are up for renewal in 2014. So after 60 years of broadcasting into Canadian homes, there's a chance that the CBC will lose the televised Saturday night tradition. Surprisingly, I'm not upset about this. Not even close. Ask the "10 years younger" version of Paqman and that dude would be raging. "Tradition! Legendary! Institution!" is what he would've said (note to younger Paqman: Chill out homeboy!). All I see today is a sub par product that needs a make over and new talent (I'm talking to you Cole...we cool MacLean. We cool.) I prefer the TSN team right now, and NBC for the Cup Final.

In this week's edition of "Why the hell haven't I seen Bon Iver live yet?!", Justin Vernon drops by the Jimmy Fallon show to jam out with the Roots. I mentioned last week that I loved his performance on SNL, and that I really wanted to see Vernon and Co. play "Perth" instead of "Beth/Rest". Well, I got my wish a week later and it was without a doubt worth the wait.

Do yourself a favor and check out the amazing collabo (take note Grammy Awards) that didn't make the broadcast after the jump.

Dammit!  The folks at NBC have decided not to renew one of my favourite shows, and I'm not happy about it.
